I've used HeliBoard for a while before going back to GBoard, unfortunately. It's a decent keyboard but I'm a swipe feature user and prediction plus autocorrect was very bad for me using it. I used FlorisBoard for a while also and it has more features,but no swipe support at all,plus only English support.
I genuinely didn't know about this. I've been avoiding immutable OSes as I've had issues with distros like Bazzite in the past where packages completely disappeared from my system after a freeze when overclocking my GPU,which ruined the whole experience for me.
However, I'm interested in blend os,which unfortunately comes with gnome by default,but I will give it another try with layering plasma on it next time I try it,cause the idea of a distrobox centric distro is really appealing.
Very very nice work. Thanks for your effort and willingness to experiment with new stuff. i would definitely be interested in trying it out once it reaches "production".
If it makes you feel any better,over here,in Spain , I get 09:00 AM - 11 PM delivery intervals,with deliveries sometimes arriving at 10:30 PM,so yeah...
This,kvaesito and lawnchair are the only true alternwtives, but they are pretty different from nova and conventional launchers. lawnchair is the closest to those.
Still no Wayland support for Budgie. That is really the only reason I used Solus in the past. As a rolling distro Arch is still king.
